CD36: bridging metabolism, inflammation, and reproduction
摘要
Reproductive success requires coordinated regulation of metabolism and inflammation across the ovary, uterus, and placenta. CD36 is a lipid transporter and innate immune receptor that couples fatty acid handling to lipid–inflammation crosstalk. We synthesize mechanistic evidence on how CD36 regulates oocyte competence, endometrial receptivity, and signaling at the maternal–fetal interface, and how its dysregulation contributes to gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and pregnancy loss, suggesting CD36 as a therapeutic target.
